I prefer video because it explains better through reactions and it attracts individuals through images,videos whereas text just makes the content lengthy and cumbersome and it turns out to be boring and if we consider podcast though it has benefits such as an individual can listen while doing some other work yet it can distract the individual and at times the individual may not understand the content provided properly.
